"Diamond Zenith Razor." 



Registered in .^=. .=,— .— ^==^-^ In London, England, 

Wasliingtou. D. C. ^Br^^^^^^^*™* and Ottawa, Canada. 



TO THE BARBER PROFESSION: 

Thirty-seven years' experience has been crowned with success. 

THE UNRIVALED DIAMOND ZENITH RAZOR HAS STOOD THE TEST. 

It is not our intention to print the numerous testimonials received daily from 
prominent Barbers of this and other countries. They pronounce them superior 
to any which they have used. There is a general call for the Razor with the 

GLAZIER'S DIAMOND, named DIAMOND ZENITH RAZOES. 

THE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE, CHICAGO, 

A LEADING PAPER FOR HARDWARE AND CUTLERY 

of HIGH STANDARD, says in its columns of September 24th, 1884: 

A WORD ABOrT BARBER'S CITTI.ERY. 

The article of greatest importance to barbers is a good, keen razor, and shears 
which do not slip the hair. We are not aware, as yet, that all barbers are ac- 
quainted with the good qual- "^^^j^^^^^-^^^- ity of the "Zenith Razor." 
What are the advantages of a mtf-Jg^^lfH fancy barber chair, brushes, 

soap or other tools, or being a skillful and experienced barber, if one has not the 
razor to depend upon ? Unquestionably, the whole weight of the barber's reputu 
tion rests entirely on a first-class razor — a razor better than what has hitherto 
been offered by what is called "the trade." A barber is bound to have a razor 
which is MADE to SHAVE and hold out. 



GUSTAV KNECHT, CHICAGO. 




Mr. Gustav Knecht, 171 E. Randolph Street, Chicago, is the fortunate man 
who understands how to make a razor which ought to be tried and will be appre- 
ciated —Mr. Knecht being in the first place born and brought up in cutlery, all his 
forefathers having been engaged in the manufacture of knives, shears and razors; 
his own experience in this very line of business, making and concaving razors 
and other instruments, extends beyond 30 years. He has now brought it to the 
extreme point in manufacturing a razor invented, and known in material as 
well as in temper only by himself; thus his new brand is truly the 

"ZeNITH Of rm AG^/' 

Begistered in e»ii g-r-^ gi^ ^^»_—i m In London, England and 

Washington, D. C. ^^^M^^^H Ottawa, Canada. 

DIAMOND RAZOR. 

Mr. Knecht's superior razor concaving has long been known all over the 
United States. It is not his way to puff and shout about anything, but, as we 
learn, he is busily engaged with a large force of assistants in making the Zenith 
Razor, and is hardly able to fill all the orders received from people who have 
heard of the good quality of his razors through friends and barbers who had them 
in use already. Three years ago the Zenith Razor was introduced, and it is now 
really the standard and zenith of the day. 

Manufactured bj^ Gustav Knecht of the same razor steel, are in great demand 
and meet all 

put on barber's shears. These shears are known by being full (highly) polished 
and bearing the manufacturer's name. No others are identical and genuine 
Knecht's Razor Steel Shears.

HONES. 

ADYANTAGES IN PILLING HONE Of^DEI^S. 

Our Mr. Knecht, Sen., on his trip to Europe last summer, took occasion to 
visit the German Stone and Belgian Hone headquarters and profited for our 
liouse, in selecting first-class goods. By his full knowledge and experience 
acquired in his many years' using and handling Hones, he not only made a selec- 
tion of extras, which in other cases never reach this country, but has transferred 
his skill (educated one of his relatives in the same trade, who resides near the 
best Hone Quarries of Belgium), and will henceforth be supplied steadily from 
there, with nothing but prime wares. We can thus say, we have better Hones to 
offer than the ordinary market supply. 

Please give particulars with order as to grit, size and limited price. 

We do not keep anj' artificial or baked Hones.

CLIPPING MACHINES.

GRINDING AND REPAIKING. 

Please Observe the following Directions when sending in Barbers' Cutlery for 

Grinding. 

Mail Packages: Do not paste nor seal, nor put in any writing — write your 
name and address outside and send instructions extra by letter. 

Express Packages: You can put in letter with full address and instructions. 
It is the safest way to send by express. Packages of one Razor or Shears should 
be prepaid. Please attach your address to all orders and packages j'ou send for 
repairs.

Clippers being in bad order, additional charge may be necessary. Grinding 
of Clippers must be done by skillful grinders; very few in Chicago are successful 
in doing this job right. The newly invented machine for grinding Clippers, 
which we have, works like a charm.

10 cents extra for reducing large thick Razors over i of an inch in size. 
As we are MECHANICS ourselves we claim to do what is called "A No. 1 Work." 

Concaving of Razors in proper style is an art of itself and ought to be placed 
in the hands of real mechanics only. 

Vv^E DO NOT GRIND RAZORS DRY. 

Our establishment is systematically arranged, so there is no need of unscru- 
pulous puffs, calculated only for people who never look at real facts. 

It is foil}' for some of our competitors to whom grinding is an unknown art, 
to waste words in endeavoring to prove themselves skillful in this department. 
Mechanical skill is acquired only by years of careful practice; it cannot be hired 
or bought, or proved by window advertisements. Let customers judge. The 
reputation we enjoy is sufficient proof that these claims and advertisements are 
necessary for them to establish a reputation for skill they do not possess.

The design is entirely new. Frame made ot solid Black AValnut, oil finish, the ornamentation

Chairs upholstered with Plush and Moquette have ^Nickel-Plated Triinniing:^. The mate- 
rial used for upholstering is of the very best quality. 

SPECIAL NOTICE.— I would respectfully solicit my Tonsorial friends to call and examine 
the Reclining Barber Chair whenever convenient for them to do so, and be convinced of their supe- 
riority. It is impossible to illustrate the Chair to its proper advantage, or explain all parts in the 
proper light ; those that have them in use speak of them in the highest praise. Solid comfort 
for the occupant and convenient and easy-working for the Barber.

BARBER POLES— Continued. 



A Well Assorted Stock of Barter Poles is Kept on Hand in our Salesrooi, 



After many experiments we have come to the conclusion that Poles turned 
from a dry and solid Cedar beam stand exposure to the weather far better than 
those made of holloxc ordinary pine wood. 

We turn out quite a number of Poles and many are to be found on the streets 
of Chicago and elsewhere. 

The first attraction of a well titted up Barber Shop is a good, nice Pole. 

Our painter is an artist in his line. Nothing but the best material is used; 
the balls and rings are gilded with pure gold leaf. The colors on our Poles keep 
their bright appearance for several 3'ears.

INFORMATION FOR FITTING UP BATH ROOMS. 

If there is no water works in your city, you need the following fixtures: 1st, 
a wooden cold water tank (see page 76); 2d, an iron tank or boiler (on same page); 
3d, a heater; 4th, bath tubs. Connect the heater with the iron tank or boiler 
(see cut), run a pipe from the top of tank to the cold water supply; hot water is 
drawn off from the iron tank to the bath tubs, a separate pipe for cold water 
being needed from the main water supply (wooden tank) to bath tubs. When 
vising the heater an iron tank is always necessary. Connections cannot be made 
directly between the heater and bath tubs.

The cut shows the respective positions of the fuel, fire and

pipe, which we furnish. The large sizes are self-feeders, so 
that a tire can be kept up for twelve hours at a time with- 
out attention. The 12x24 inch heater is adapted for one or 
two bath tubs; it is not advisable to use smaller sizes. For
